Instructor in Foundation “Jenene Nagy”:http://www.jenenenagy.com talks about her site-specific installation, _Destroyer_, opening at the Templeton Building. Nagy talks about the transition from Tidal, her recent large-scale work at Disjecta; the color pink; how site has informed her last two installations; and the relationship between illusion and reality.

Photographer and PNCA instructor “Holly Andres”:http://www.hartmanfineart.net/artist/gallery/121 talks about two triptychs based on real life stories of mothers engaged in heroic acts to protect their children. These six photographs are from a larger series of work in which real-life subjects and their stories form the basis of staged narrative photographs depicting the secret lives of fictitious families.

The Templeton Building features work by faculty members Holly Andres, David Eckard, Damien Gilley and Jenene Nagy, as well as alumni Pat Boas ’98 and Oregon Painting Society.
